The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 615 Knife Wolf:?

As the most popular and important guest in the Spring Festival Gala's pop music category, Zhou Yi made the four programs after him lose their due brilliance.

Tian Zhen and a group of sports stars sang "Seize Every Moment", the crosstalk segment "Such Guidance", the dance "Pretty Flower Girl" and Huang Hong's sketch "Brothers". They were forced to be the "sacrifices" for Zhou Yi's shining.

When Huang Hong's skit ended, apart from the customary applause, there were not many real laughs. Many people were still humming the tune of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in private.

Of course, they themselves know the answer.

When Zhou Yi was leaving the stage after the performance, Huang Hong, who was passing by his seat, took the initiative to reach out and greet him with a friendly smile.

Whether a work is good or not, Huang Hong, a sketch artist who once briefly climbed to the top of Mount Everest with "Playing Poker", knows it better than anyone else and is not confused.

The reason why he can still appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage even though he has passed his peak is not only because there is no replacement for the time being, but also because the director team wants to be safe - the newcomer is not as good as Huang Hong, so it is better to continue using Huang Hong.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is not a place for you newcomers to level up. This is a stage for you to showcase yourselves after you have achieved success.

After stepping down the stage, Zhou Yi changed back into a burgundy windbreaker but did not leave. Instead, he returned to his seat and continued to be a guest on the show.

According to convention, guests after their performance can leave the CCTV building directly and go home to celebrate the New Year with their families, but Zhou Yi's parents didn't come to the capital at all this year, and Cheng Hao also went home for the New Year - in this case, he has nothing to do when he goes home, so he might as well watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"When are you going to sing?"

Zhou Yi, who had completed tonight's task, chewed grapes and turned his head to look at Sun Yanzi and Jay Chou, who were getting a little nervous as time went by.

"It's quite late, probably around 11 o'clock."

Sun Yanzi counted the time on his fingers and calmed down: "If I remember correctly, it was after Mr. Zhao and his group."

"That's okay."

Zhao Benshan, as the king of sketches in the Spring Festival Gala after the duo of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, has attracted much attention. This year, he will team up with Fan Wei and Gao Minxia to present the sketch "Water Delivery Man".

It tells the story of a mother who worked as a tailor and saved money to support her son to study abroad. In order to let her son concentrate on his studies, she lied to him and said that she had found a rich partner. But her son suddenly returned home to see his new father. The mother was dumbfounded, so she rented a water delivery worker for the emergency.

Honestly speaking, the script of this skit is quite average among Zhao Benshan’s works, especially when it is mixed with family affection and sensational elements. The ability to bring out the laughs really depends purely on the performances of the three veteran artists on stage.

But even so, Zhao Benshan still contributed two popular golden sentences:

Understanding "studying the mummy" as "studying the aunt" and the jingle "The moon shines brightly in front of the window, and the glass is frosted over."

Zhou Yi originally thought that he would not laugh, but when Zhao Benshan really said it in his amusing tone, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

After that, another ten programs passed before it was Jay Chou's turn to sing "Dragon Fist" and Sun Yanzi's turn to sing "Meeting".

The embarrassing thing is that as a popular love song, "Meeting" can still make some people at the scene listen to it because of the lyrics and Sun Yanzi's unique singing style;

Jay Chou performed "Dragon Fist" on the stage, humming and groaning for a long time, and the audience was almost dead silent...

Even though Jay Chou sang the lyrics as clearly as possible, he still played the backup tape, and lip-synced to ensure the effect.

For the audience at the Spring Festival Gala, his hip-hop music was still a bit too advanced.

Don’t understand, but respect.

That's pretty much what it means.

Considering the little music king's reputation and the fact that he is a Taiwanese singer, the audience gave him the usual applause after the performance.

Afterwards, the duet song "Warmth" by A-du and Xiaoyanzi also failed to cause much waves, or it was not very memorable.

The young audiences who watched the whole show in front of TV thought that it seemed that Zhou Yi would dominate the pop music category again this year during the Spring Festival Gala...?
"Oh no! Zhou Yi is going to be far ahead in the vote for the most popular pop song in the Spring Festival Gala this year."

"It's not that I want to vote, it's just that the opponent is too slow."

"Can you vote for "Good Luck Comes"? I really don't want to see Zhou Yi start pretending again."

“‘Good Luck Comes’ doesn’t belong to the category of pop songs.”

"Then can Zhou Yi's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" be counted?"

"Well, why not?"

"Grass!"

In this situation where anyone with a discerning eye can see how effective Jay Chou's performance was during this year's Spring Festival Gala, many haters have no choice but to find another way and start praising Jay Chou. Even if they can take a step back and praise his two Singaporean friends, Stefanie Sun and A-Du.

After all, Sun Yanzi’s hit song this year - oh no, last year’s hit song "Meet" was not written by Zhou Yi!

You can blow!
win!
"Sun Yanzi's fans, you have to stand up! Do you want your idol to live under the shadow of Zhou Yi for the rest of his life? To be dependent on Zhou Yi for the rest of his life?"

"Get the fuck out of here!"

"It seems to make sense. Yanzi left Zhou Yi but it's not like there's no Huoge."

"A fan of Xiao Yaxuan, right? Get out of here too!"

"I'm not!"

"roll!"

The fans who have been steadfast in upholding the Gemini Stars banner for a hundred years immediately launched a counterattack when they sensed that something was wrong, and even uncovered some "traitors" - labeling those who tried to incite the emotions of Sun Yanzi's fans as Xiao Yaxuan's fans!

Don’t ask, the answer is that Xiao Yaxuan is Sun Yanzi’s direct competitor.

On New Year's Eve, they still insist on being on the front line of anti-black (anti-dressing) in the fan circle. Their love (hate) for their idols (enemies) is heartwarming. Little do they know that the stars they argue about and devote all their time and energy to are now gathering together to drink and eat barbecue, celebrating the arrival of 2004.

"Happy New Year! Cheers!"

Sun Yanzi, holding a glass of beer, ate the meat with big mouthfuls. There were still traces of scratches from the hot iron skewers on the corners of his mouth. He was very excited.

The Spring Festival Gala was over and she could finally eat after being hungry all night.

Jay Chou, who was fanning the barbecue just like he did before his debut, shook his bangs and showed a genuine smile on his face: "Happy New Year, it's been a long time since we've been together like this. It's a pity that Shao Han is not here, otherwise we would be all here."

Recalling the barbecue party before their debut, there were only four of them - oh no, there was also a special guest, Xiao Yaxuan who came to see Zhou Yi the next day.

He was being clever at the time and pretended to have gastroenteritis from eating too much barbecue to cover for Zhou Yi.

"Shao Han is still filming, right? The last time I talked to her, she was saying that Fumao has been arranging idol dramas for her." Sun Yanzi, who has also experienced the hardships of filming, expressed deep regret. "No, she will start to make a breakthrough in both recording and idol dramas this year."

Zhou Yi casually cracked open a bottle of beer and filled it up: "More busy."

There is no need to explain the power of idol dramas. Zhang Shaohan, who has finally gained a foothold and earned the nickname "Electric Eyes Queen", finally reaped the rewards of his hard work this year and was given the treatment of walking on two legs of idol dramas and records.

There's nothing I can do, after all, she's not my biological daughter.

The latest album is not a studio album, but a compilation - it includes all the songs Zhang Shaohan has sung since his debut and all the interludes in the idol dramas he has acted in.

Leading the series is "Fables" written by Zhou Yi. Thanks to its popularity, the album is selling well in Taiwan and is expected to exceed 18 copies.

"Ayi, are you sure you want to come to my unparalleled concert in the capital this year?"

After blowing a few bottles, Jay Chou also began to feel tongue-tied, but he still confirmed with Zhou Yi: "If you don't have time, don't force yourself."

To be fair, he is a loyal man.

Although he has not been invited to Zhou Yi's concert yet, he does not think that Zhou Yi looks down on him - the guests who have appeared at Zhou Yi's concert so far all have a reason, and he cannot replace any of them.

If anyone is to blame, it's the review department on his side that refused to approve Zhou Yi's application.

Otherwise, whenever Zhou Yi holds a concert in Taiwan, wouldn't he be a guaranteed guest?
Unfortunately, in the foreseeable future, once Zhou Yi’s fourth album “Gui Zang” is released, it will be even more impossible for him to hold a concert in Taiwan.

If Zhou Yi had not made a name for himself in Europe and the United States, they would probably have banned him or removed his albums from the shelves.

There is no way. The man that the four special schools remember is someone who can completely break down their defenses.

"You've already driven to the capital, why shouldn't I come? I'll definitely come to help out when the time comes."

Zhou Yi put down his wine glass and replied to one New Year's text message after another amidst the faint sound of fireworks outside: "The premise is that in the second half of the year, in a week or so, I will have to leave for the United States."

....................................

"Really?"

"How can I lie to you? Zhou Yi is going to attend the Grammy Awards in the United States, and he will go to Japan to participate in the China-Japan Song Festival after that. I just don't know if he can be nominated for an Oscar. If so, he will have to fly back to the United States to participate in the Oscars."

On New Year's Eve, as an agent, Li Songqiang, who was eating New Year's Eve dinner, gave Daolang a clear and hopeful answer -

"This means that Zhou Yi will not appear in China for at least one month or even two months, and this is your chance. As long as you can surpass him in even one ranking this month, it will be a breakthrough for the Chinese music scene."

Since Zhou Yi reached the top of the Chinese music scene, no one has successfully challenged him. Although it is already the end of Zhou Yi's album sales period, considering the specialness of this man... a win would be worth a lot of writing about!

Moreover, Daolang not only has a chance, but the possibility is also very high.

"The First Snow of 2002" is too destructive.

No matter how popular "Blue and White Porcelain" is, it is an old song that has been released for more than two months. It is time to describe it as "lacking stamina", but Daolang's song has just been released.

If Warner has the ability, it can just put together a new single for Zhou Yi to sell, right?

“But, this ‘Congratulations and Get Rich’…” Daolang frowned.

"Don't worry, Warner will never make 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' into a single. Look at Zhou Yi's previous Spring Festival Gala songs, which one was made into a single and released?" Li Songqiang was holding a cigarette, his smile revealing 70% confidence and 30% elegance.

What does it mean to be in control of the situation? Do you understand the value of having a plan that is flawless?

February 2004, 1, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On this particularly festive day, Daolang, who had left home to develop in the imperial capital, took a deep breath of the morning air. Before he could even go out, he heard a song that was very familiar to him coming from outside the window.

"I congratulate you on your wealth and my wonderful life~
"The best please come, the bad please go away
"The more courtesy, the less blame~~~"

He is familiar with this song. Zhou Yi just sang it in the Spring Festival Gala last night.

Ok?
No, what's going on?

"Fuck it! Warner Bros. has no moral principles! "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was actually recorded as a single???"

Due to the lack of connections with regular major record companies, Li Songqiang became anxious as he did not know that Zhou Yi had completed the recording at Warner years ago.

They have invested a lot of money to promote Daolang, and they were planning to take advantage of Zhou Yi's free period to steal his attention. Why did you break the rules and release a single?
Zhou Yi even recorded a simple festive MV.

Zhou Yi, where is your pride? Where is your persistence?
What the hell?
"Gong Xi Fa Cai" was officially sent to major radio stations, audio and video channels and even uploaded to Warner's official website as a single on the 22nd, and it has borne fruit in various forms -

Four days later, on the 26th, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Monday.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai" destroyed all obstacles with its unrivaled momentum, even including Zhou Yi's own "Blue and White Porcelain", and topped the weekly charts of the Fengyun Chart and other charts to take the number one spot in the new week.

Daolang, who made a great progress last week and ranked second on the list, regressed this week and is stuck at third place...

What’s even worse is that, in terms of the media, “Gong Xi Fa Cai” can basically be called a viral spread…

On the streets, in supermarkets, and wherever there is a Chinese New Year celebration, without exception, there is always the image of "Gong Xi Fa Cai"...

"I give up! I went to the supermarket to buy some gold coin chocolates today. I'm almost brainwashed by "Gong Xi Fa Cai"!"

On Tianya, user "自由的河贝14" published the first post since the New Year, angrily denouncing Zhou Yi's inappropriate behavior.

On the Decline of Zhou Yi: Starting from Writing Brainwashing Divine Songs

"I support He Li this time. He didn't say anything nonsense. I was playing with rice in the supermarket yesterday. The radio was playing Zhou Yi's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" on repeat. There were not many songs of "Good Luck Comes"."

"I live right next to a supermarket! Right next to it! Who knows how painful it is for me to listen to the damned "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for 24 hours out of 18 hours a day! Zhou Yi, please take back your magical power, no matter how good the song is, it can't stand being played on repeat!"

"To be honest, this song is outrageous. My parents were humming it today..."

"The main reason is that this song is free, so everyone likes to use it."

"I'm from Shanxi. A boss here wants to invite Zhou Yi to sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for 300 million yuan. You can imagine how widely this song has spread..."

"I was wrong. Zhou Yi is really better than Dao Lang in writing such vulgar songs..."

Daolang, who was following the direction of online public opinion under the arrangement of his agent, slowly typed a question mark: "?"
